There is no practical storage system right now. Have you priced them? They're outrageously expensive, with puny capacity. Not to mention the environmental impact of making all those batteries, and the lifespan implications of using them 365 nights a year. The dumb thing is that any electric cars made in the last 5-10 years don't have the ability to serve as energy storage. Those are just now emerging. Tesla stands out as particularly dumb, since they also sell solar systems. Why not a solar + car bundle? |

Batteries degrade when they are pushed to their limits, they last when used properly. The ESA has multiple reports on their testing, if you use the battery in the flat part of its discharge curve and don't cook it, they basically last forever.
The reasons they don't is because manufacturers build their devices with less than the bare minimum. 20% better performance for a device that fails and needs 100% replacement, good scam. Battery degradation should be barely noticeable.
The market has failed catastrophically.
